Park has plenty of close parking and uses turf as ground covering. Half the park is shaded with a Pavilion and picnic tables. We are not from Provo and are 100% impressed with this park.

It's not very big park, maybe a couple hundred yards of space, but it has trees above giving some good shade (I'm sure much handier on sunny days). The main feature is the playground: three slides and climbing apparatus for the kids. We were there on a Friday afternoon and it was packed with kids; yours may find a friend. One unique feature is the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum and the Sons of Utah Pioneers Village ... cool for some local history!

So obviously, both times, I have not been very close to City Center. However, I have been to City Center a few times in the last month and I am IMPRESSED with how much it is growing and expanding. I probably wouldn't have came to this park if it hadn't been for the farmer's market. I am in my early 20s and have no idea what to do at a park. Despite the farmer's market being very busy, there was still plenty of parking--I was quite impressed with the layout of the parking lot in particular. So I park my Jeep and head over. There were all kinds of vendors; food, handmade items, etc.. Then they had this massive play area for kids to enjoy. If you went a bit further, they also had a gazebo with tables. At the time of my visit, this was being occupied by some kind of reunion. It was a massive area so it is perfect for something like a reunion or party. They also did have some kind of splash area. Parks, especially ones with playgrounds, are not really targeted for my demographic--that being a single woman in her 20s with no children or even a dog. I wouldn't say this would be somewhere I would go out of my way for unless there is another fun event happening. I did enjoy seeing the cute dogs.

I've been to this park many times in the past year that it been open and today was a ton of fun!…read more We did part of my Family Reunion at the park today from 8:30am-5pm and the kids and adults were never bored! We had about 70 people attending and about 40 of them were kids ages 0-19. There was something fun for all ages! (Ok, to be honest the 2 month old didn't really say she had fun; but my 5 month old enjoyed laying on a blanket watching everyone around her so even the babies enjoyed it!) With it being a family reunion I had family in town from California, Arizona, and all around Utah and everyone was way impressed with all the amenities they had at this park! The families from Arizona were especially jealous; I guess where they live they don't have cool parks. We started off playing all over the park equipment and with us being there so early before the splash pad opened; we had the park to ourselves until 9:45am! Once the splash pad opened the kids transitioned to the water area and spent hours playing all over. We rented 2/3 of the large pavilion and were able to fit all of us easily under our part of the pavilion. If you need an outdoor area to gather lots of people; consider renting the pavilion! I think it was only like $50 (but I can't remember). We then had a big game of Kickball in their festival field area and then moved over towards the Pickleball courts where we had a Pickleball Tournament! We had teams of ages 12-61 playing so if you're looking for a mix between tennis and ping-pong: Pickleball is for you! Heads up: Bring your own equipment! We were prepared and had all we needed, but don't expect to rent out any equipment at the park. Also: Bring a canopy/tent or some type of shade! The pavilions are great; but if you want to get closer to the splash pad, bring your own shade! Overall: The day was amazing! One of my nephews has special needs and is in a wheelchair and he was able to ride on swings and other play equipment because they are "all needs accessible". I really liked that!

We had a "Karen" who decided to yell at us for temporarily parking closer to the Pavillion to unload some heavy items. We had reserved the Pavillion. We were parked with hazards on for less the 10 minutes. but due to her yelling at us and getting mad because we were ignoring her. So my advice Stay away. Or find a time that's less busy to enjoy the Park. it Would be nice to have Pavillion Parking specifically for those who have reserved a Pavillion for a party. Some people just walked through the Pavillion which that's on them no manners. There was lots of litter. The bathrooms were nasty. Then a HUGE Yellowjacket problem. Swarming the food and around people. There was construction project and piles of dirt were not covered so a wind gust would kick up dirt and roll it through the area. the breeze was nice kept the temp low. but the dust was unpleasant. Vivian Park is a historic place. But due to so much over usage it's losing its charm. We won't be returning and I don't recommend it. Utah do better your Forest and the Charm of the Parks are lost. Not to mention with the amount of people floating down the River your World Famous Fishing.. not the best the River is just too contaminated. You can Do better.

We happened upon this park, and even though the rest of the canyon was packed, this was spread out enough that it didn't feel cramped at all. We saw plenty of parking from the road, so we pulled off for a pit stop. We walked across the bridge and towards the trail--this park sits right on the Provo River and the walkway--and then wandered back towards the restrooms and large grassy area. There are pavilions, and some kind of amphitheater, but we were looking for a picnic table in the sun and found plenty of them. We picnicked indeed! There are lots of places to picnic, including the grass or tables, and saw lots of kids riding bikes and scooters along the walkways that wind around. It looks like you can take off into the trees a little, though I'm unsure if there are any official hikes. With the golden sun starting to get lower in the sky, we ate our sandwiches and drank in the ambrosia of fresh canyon air, turning leaves, and a place dedicated to people getting out to enjoy it all.

This park has a direct connection to the Bridal Veils park/trail as well. I did see a closed for the season sign blocking entrance into the parking lot areas, so you would have to park elsewhere and walk to this main area. Overall, nice park with easy access all around and a very easy trail. The view isn't as pretty as the Bridal Veils one, but it's much less crowded.

I'll admit, you…read moredon't get the beautiful view of the falls from this park, but you're right next to the river. If you're close enough to the river, the sound of the water drowns out the cars driving by on the road. I came to this park last week when I wanted to get away from the apartment for a while. I drove up the canyon for a few minutes and drove off the freeway to see that the parking lot for Bridal Veil Falls Park was packed, so I took a left and made my way over to Nunn's Park. I didn't wander over to the campground area, but the park is pretty nice. The trees are finally green and the sun was out, so I was able to kick back and enjoy how beautiful this place is during spring. Oh, but I must say, they have ants that I haven't seen since rural San Diego. Those nasty HUGE black ants...yikes. I've only seen those tiny house ants around here, so it was a bit of a shock. If you stray from the view of the water and just look at the bridge and the road above you, it's not all that pretty, but I guess that's the benefit of having two parks so close together. If you get tired of one, just walk across the street to the other one. Provo Canyon would have to be the most beautiful thing I've seen in Utah.

I'd always drive to the last park right on the canyon road, but today I went up past that park and saw the sign for the Forest Service, took it off to the right, and found this park. It's a long skinny road with a few different parking/pavilion areas, and at the end there's a parking lot with a trailhead. That's what I was after tonight--the trailhead. The fall colors up there were beyond description, and it follows the little river winding back and forth. I got a late start and didn't get much time, but it was just perfect for a chance to get some fresh air, hear the trickle of the brook, and know that when we make an effort to find little parks and traileheads, it's worth it. Apparently, if you take the trail all the way up to the top, you come to what used to be the springs, but after some recent construction, they're not so much accessible springs. I'd like to take that trail all the way up, but for tonight I found a really nice, flat meadow and leaned up near a tree to have some dinner. Back at the park, there are pavilions with lights, restrooms, and that seems to be the big appeal here--the outdoors access and a few pavilions. It's not a huge park with a big playground or anything, but for the trails, the fresh air, the cooler temps... it's just right.

A small playground is also there and usually has a myriad of children rummaging through. There's lots of grassy area for any activity you can dream of. There's horseshoe spots near the back corner as well. One bathroom location, which is as gross as every other park bathroom everywhere. The signs said closed for season (in April) but the doors were wide open so I'm not sure if that's taken as law around here or if anyone cares to check. The toilets are the metal, prison-esque and they're very gross. Not taken care of at all but that's not a surprise or much of an issue for me as I'm sure most park bathrooms are taken care of much. The best part about this park is its location by the Provo River and river trail. An excellent bike or walk path to take. All in all, it's a decent park and good place to start or end your walk/bike/run on the river trail.
